Tribal Territory contradictions

We are told by Barwa that Tribal Territories (TTs) are essential for us to live in peace in Botswana. Furthermore Barwa claim that the TTs do not disrupt lives of tribal people in any way whatsoever, because a tribal person from GaNgwaketse can apply for land allocation in any TT in Botswana, and be allocated that land. If indeed a Mongwato applying for land in Kweneng TT is not discriminated against on grounds of being a "foreigner", why then should the two TTs (Kweneng and GaMmangwato) exist? Why should national resources be wasted in administrating these TTs? Why were the names of TTs disguised as "Districts", e.g. Southern District, Central District, Kgatleng District?
